Out of Egypt:

fox censors the emmys

So we had an Emmys party tonight, and it was great. The Emmys themselves were not, though they had their moments.

One of the interesting moments of the Emmys, though, was Sally Field's rambling acceptance speech, in which Fox blipped out not merely a word, but half a sentence. For those of you who couldn't already figure it out, here's what she said.

Last time I checked, G--d--n was not a word on the FCC banned list, especially around 11 at night. Now I don't approve of that word, but I don't approve of censoring anti-war sentiment either.

No, no, the best moment was when Colbert gave the award to Steve Carrell because Ricky Gervais wasn't there. They should have sent someone to break Tony Bennett's knee caps so maybe they could have awarded the Colbert Report with a well-deserved Emmy....

I didn't say her speech was the best moment, just an interesting one. What you said was the best moment :)

The NYT says Fox censored the word, not the anti-war sentiment. And if the NYT says it, you know it must be true.
